Doesn't Haley Barbour Know How to Read?

Haley Barbour, marionette master:

A reporter followed up to ask Barbour for his opinion as to why so many Americans (wrongly) think Obama is a Muslim.

"I don't know why people think what they think," Barbour said. He paused and then added, "This is a president that we know less about than any other president in history."

There's a couple of possibilities here. Either Haley Barbour does not know how to read and therefore missed the two books written by Barack Obama about his life, his family and his outlook, or he's just being a divisive jerk. Or both.

. . . RFK's "Days of Affirmation" Speech at the University of Capetown, delivered in June, 1966, with your "Ripple of Hope" reference? One of the greatest delivered by a great one which so many have forgotten about.

i always thought the name "Haley" for a guy was quite suspect.

After all, what do we really know about this guy? What proof do we have he is one of us other than a birth certificate? Did his parents give him this funny name because he is gay?

No, no, no Haley, this just won't do. Who are you, really?

Hmmmmmmm????????????

to be more precise. I looked up the word 'porcine' and there was his photo. But I expected that.

And then he said we know about all the other presidents, we even know that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. Really - he said that. So the question: is he JUST a lying piece of crap, or is he that stupid?

I think we know the answer to that question...

reading was ever a prerequisite for any position he has held. Perhaps this is apropos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvs2g5Nj0NI

This is exactly why Obama has bailed out the banks, escalated the War in Afghanistan and targeted Americans for assassination.

He's had to placate whiny, corporate, chubby guys like Haley Barbour so they won't say mean things about him.

This is why we all have to Vote in November. Or else the Teabaggers win.

We're not going to get very far if you keep injecting logic into the conversation!

Has anyone ever seen him read something out loud. Like a speech?
Nope, it's all memorized.
But yeah, Divisive he most certainly is.

This rascist ass from mississppi can be as ignorant and stupid as he is, he will be elected. The crackers love the fool. I'm actually a souther-born liberal from hell and yet rascists like haley dominate politics in the south where i still live. I live in Florida where racism is still rampant not mississippi where it is required. That said it is still difficult to understand how someone this stupid is electable. He hates what he does not understand and has no desire to understand what he hates. It's too difficult to change and he is incapable of understanding the need and nessisity that change is inevitable whether he likes it or not. It really is that simple. Change to this fool is something he cannot just understand but refuses to admit to. To someone like this change is scary, it undermines the fabric of a society he wishes would never change. Descrimination is good civil rights are bad for everyone but the like minded weak individuals like himself and anything that challenges that mindset is evil.

Sad but true.

When Haley was in school, they did burning instead of learning.

He probably can't read and he's definitely another divisive ( Reich wing ) A hole , a sure fire winner in Mississippi .

Bush buffoons to Texans.

Obviously Barbour doesn't bother to read. Obama's autobiography is only one of the many sources of information about him. Much has been written and he's been interviewed many times. I'd say we know at least as much about him as we do any other public figure.

oh boy....this is a tough one.....i'm going with the divisive jerk....i don't know if he can read (or at what grade level), but i'm SURE he's a JERK....

I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that Haley has chimed in with the same songs of idiocy heard every single day on FOX NEWS.

Haley's got waaay too much integrity to say anything Roger Ailes wants him to say just because Boss Murdoch gave a million bucks to the Barbour-run Republican Governors Association.

Coincidence - pure coincidence.

Could this be a simple statement that the elderly, stupid white man has no feeling of empathy for a young, intelligent black man?

After all, if you're regressive, mentally challenged, and caucasian, it's easy to look at someone like George W. Bush and make the assumption that you understand him (even if you don't). We always tend to identify with people who seem to be more like us.
